in this episode i rebuild my original XS650 constant velocity bs34 carburetors. i worried more about getting people from A to B, knowing how to get their carburetors clean than i did about being precise with terminology so please take it easy on me, i had acouple brain farts atleast 🙏😅 this bike sat for along time and the carbs were in horrible condition, so i show you how to refurbish them inside and out to be in like new working condition. hope you all enjoyed and dont forget to subscribe if you learned anything new or just enjoyed the video, thanks for tuning in!

[@TheZombiejohn75]

good stuff, kid, really enjoying your XS 650 build. You have a great sense of design and a good goal in mind, I can't wait to see the finished product. Happily subbed. Keep up the builds, ride safe.

[@ChopperFisher]

Hey thank you so much man that means alot! 🙏 i got next week off so hoping to crank out as much as i can ✊

One suggestion for disassembly, when you take out the idle air screw (the one on top toward the engine) and you take the screw out with the spring on it - make sure you get the tiny washer and tiny o-ring out of the hole. You don't want to be putting the new o-ring and washer on top of the old! Also, when you put it back in, screw it in carefully until it seats - DO NOT force it - then back it out about 2-1/2 turns, which seems to be the the census on what setting runs best. By the way, EVERYONE forgets to pop the little screen on the needle seat insert!

Dude! Awesome tutorial video and thank you for all this information! Narration and music is on point. Very helpful.

[@thebambinofan]

This be an underrated video.

[@ChopperFisher]

Awh shucks 🥰

[@AkantorkrilleX]

That was fun to watch, informative, entertaining and sympathetic So satisfying to watch as well Loved it! 😁

[@ChopperFisher]

🙏😁 thank you so much!

[@joshcline5223]

Great video. Just one major tip. When working on Xs or any Japanese bike get a set of JIS (Japanese industry standard) screw drivers or bits, Less chance of camming out and stripping the screw.

[@Quocle603]

Dis guy right here. I've seen him cruising around.

[@ChopperFisher]

Ride with me next time! 😉

[@jameyquinn3219]

Thanks for providing some real information on a rebuild and not just talking about how awesome you think you are!

[@ChopperFisher]

Hey i try 🤘😁 thanks for the compliment!

[@Arthurb06]

Man, I seriiiiously needed this tutorial, went through the whole process of dis assembling and leaving it in carb dip for a day, but they got nowhere near as clean as yours have. Thanks heaps

[@ChopperFisher]

Hell yeah man 🙌 im happy it could help, this is whyni made it! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@perotekku]

Just found your channel/IG a few days ago. Binged the whole XS650 series up to here, my dream bike build. I have my license and gear, but I just bum a motorcycle off my dad when I'm in the mood. Floated the bike idea past the wife, no go. Probably has something to do with the unfinished, '53 Ford sitting on jackstands in my garage right now! Anyways, love the channel, love the vibes, keep up the killer work! 🤘

[@ChopperFisher]

Hey thanks man i really appreciate that 🙏 all you gotta do is explain how this is way different than the ford and how bad you have to have it 😂 i hope you get one some days its so worth it!

[@Stealyourtone]

Amazing video. Going to rebuild my two carbs for my xs400 soon!

[@ChopperFisher]

Hell yeah enjoy! Its one of my favorite things to do 😁 and thank you!

[@porchfrontstudios9476]

Nice! Yep, carb cleaning is always a joy, lol. I always seem to accidentally spray a little in my mouth, stuff burns, but Gumout is the best! I'd recommend for the "carb camera" you set your auto focus to manual after you've dialed it in, and it won't wander on you while filming. Set it at a higher f/stop and more will be in focus as well. Also, I've stripped out a lot of screws on carbs to recently realize that there's such thing as a JIS screwdriver (Japanese Industrial Standard) they've got a little dot on the head, and a standard Phillips will strip these babies out. Highly recommend one for Yamaha bikes. Keep up the good work! I'll try those buffing tips when I get my new jets for my bike.

[@ChopperFisher]

Hey great point! On something like this it would definitely make more snese to jack up the f-stop, especially on those closer shots. I count on bokeh to hide my mess most of the time otherwise 😅 but thank you for checkong it out glad you enjoyed it ! 🙏

[@alloy5743]

this was super useful with my xs11 carbs

[@bigcase4449]

I've got a 78 xs500, some jackwagon put 2 left side bs34's on (500s never came with 34's) and jetted it with 650 standard size jets.

Been a fan since lowlife podcast so I always love hearing you're sweet voice 🥰 Where did you buy all of your replacement parts, tcbros or other sites? I've got a 73 yam that I'm gonna need to completely rebuild the carbs I imagine.

[@ChopperFisher]

Hell yeah! Ill be hanging out with my lowlife homies this weekend for the Chopluck 🙌😁 if i didnt straight up make the part myself its a combination of TC bros, Lowbrow and Ebay!

Good video!! I have a 75 xs with 38's I just sent off to have cleaned. I did find new diaphrams. Got them from bonanza motorcycle parts. Cost 68 each. Love the music!! Who was that? Thanks!

[@ChopperFisher]

Thank you! Its from a monthly subscription called epidemic sounds 🤘😁

Hey homie I'm in nh! Building an xs right now hopefully be done next month. Let's ride or drink some beers .... or both

[@ChopperFisher]

Hell yeah man! I still got a few minor things to wrap up inshould be ready by then hit me up on the insta! Also @chopperfisher

[@williammorrison2158]

What about the bowl float adjustment?

[@atamaman6710]

What was it that you sprayed on the carbs to start wire brushing, was it water or alcohol?

[@andrewrodriguez8849]

Great video! How do you clean all the little jets? Soak them in carb cleaner??

[@andrewrodriguez8849]

Unless new ones are included in the rebuild kit... ha. Goes to show how much I know at the moment.

[@ChopperFisher]

the kit does come with new ones but to clean the originals carb clean blasting through the holes will do the trick or an air gun, definitely dont poke anything in there though and they deff dont have to be shiny to work right! just not build up 👌

[@andrewrodriguez8849]

Sweet, thanks 🙏🏽

What kit did you use for this carb? I believe I’m looking for the same kit though cant find it.

[@mrmaroonballoon]

Hey, just wondering, how come you didn't have to set the float height?

[@ChopperFisher]

This video was mostly about the cleaning, but i did check it obviously while i was in there and didnt see a need to make an adjustment and i was right! Runs great 🤘😁

[@Jawa762x39]

Hey what rebuild kit is that?

[@snowdale23]

Would you rather of done it like that than vapor honing?

[@kg-hk5zu]

Vapor all day..lol

[@ChopperFisher]

Not only is it super quick but most people like myself dont have the option of vapor honing right in my garage, so showing people a way of doing it with thongs they already have! Other than that hell yeah vapor honing os great hahaha

[@skyb8687]

What carb kit is that for bs34,does it come with a new needle for the floats

[@ChopperFisher]

Keyster, i got these exact ones on tc bros website

Hey sir , I have a 1975 xs650 , can I send the carbs to you for a rebuild ?

[@ChopperFisher]

i would love to but it would be much much cheaper for you to give it a shot! its alot easoer than tou think and it doesnt take that much time at all. thats why i made this video to help people that dont know how, thank you for trusting me with it but give it a try! 🙏

[@manpreetsingh83]

Can you help me find the drain screw on the bs34 carb?

[@ChopperFisher]

Do you mean online? Or on the bottom of the bowl?

[@manpreetsingh83]

Sorry i mean the location of drain screw on the bs34. I have xs650 with mikuni bs34 and i want to drain the carb to clean it

[@ChopperFisher]

Ahh yes! Sometimes what happens is the hole the screw is in gets filled upnwith road grime, its on the very bottom of the bowl mounted horizontally and its the only one cant miss it! Just might need to scratch some dirt out to get to the screw or something

@@ChopperFisher I don't see the emulation tubes in those kits.

[@ChopperFisher]

Why would you want/need new emulation tubes? Jet accordingly and rip it!

[@Flashdogger]

@@ChopperFisher I have reused emulation tubes many times but in your video you replaced them and suggested that I do the same. You did not use the word emulsion tube but you did throw it in the basket and advise replacing it.

[@ChopperFisher]

@Jon Kamholtz img your right 😅 hahaha forgive me its been awhile and i have a poor memory. I just had to re watch my own video to remember i even did that 😆 if you cant find a kit with one you can definitely reuse it but take some extra steps to ensure the little holes arent plugs up with some extra carb clean and maybe even little pipe brushes

[@MSCSphoto]

You didnt check the float adjustment.

[@ChopperFisher]

I talked about it in the recording process and decided that it wasnt necessary for a carb cleaning video and could be used for more content on another! Thank you though! 👊

Damn bro that bike is looking titties,I actually love those carbs,as long as the needle and seat are clear,and diaphragm is unholy,I've always bench sync them and work perfectly, you can also get "Canadian needles" with adjustable clip,change main jet up one since they came lean,run one stage hotter plug and bingo its its purrfect

[@ChopperFisher]

Hahah thanks man! Ill be running straight pipe so ill have to tweak them from here for sure but ill have a good clean start, ill have a small range of jets to work with anyway when the time comes, ive got a buddy from the lowlifechopperpodcast that built one with straight pipe so ill probably start with what hes running 🤘

[@skyb8687]

@@ChopperFisher hey man yeah its definitely a bonus with the adjustable needle clip if you're running open pipes,I would do one up on the clip ,if your using pods one up on the main jet,but that's just what worked for me,anyways man,thanks for the comment and the vid,i subbed
